With alternating rain and sun this past week, we are all so glad to exchange our wardrobes and have more opportunities to be outside. Ella has started to do a fair amount of "work" (as she calls it) in the yard, which unfortunately means moving dirt from one bed to another and often dropping it on top of some of our sweet little flowers. She doesn't pat them down and bury them, but she sprinkles them with rather large dirt clods which I don't think they like. Good thing she likes washing her hands (because soap involves bubbles, presumably), because she comes in with dirt caked on at least three to four times a day. She has now gotten to the point of repeating even those words that you don't necessary intend to have parroted (such as "gamy" in a description of laundry), so the time has come to watch out!
Here are a couple sweet pictures from the last week. It is funny seeing how many teeth she has when she smiles for the bathtub shot! I don't know if it is a reaction to the flash, but her "smiley" face is pretty extreme!
xo to all,
H
